Slayer - New Song Available For Streaming
Are you ready for some thrash? Today, it comes courtesy of Slayer, which are dropping a new album tentatively scheduled for release in August via their new label Nuclear Blast Records. The American thrash metal titans will release the new song, "When The Stillness Comes," this weekend on a picture-disc for Record Store Day, but you can stream the eerie new track below! Dive in now.
Guitarist Kerry King says of this track: "It's about a dude who wakes up at a crime scene and realizes he's killed everybody."
"When The Stillness Comes" is one of 12 new songs that will appear on their upcoming new record, their first since 2009's World Painted Blood which will also be the band's first album since the death of founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman in 2013 and the departure of drummer Dave Lombardo that same year. Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has been filling in for Hanneman, and the band also now features returning drummer Paul Bostaph.

The song sounds much better than Implode and a lot of tracks from their last 2 albums. I might even give this album a chance.

The riffs are pretty dull and I hate the choice of distortion. It's too fuzzy. I give it a 6 out of 666.

Dont like how the snare sounds, and the song is pretty boring, kerry must be pretty out of tune with what fans want to hear

I'm pretty sure I pressed play, but I'm note sure whether it just ended or it never even started. It might also still be playing.

Written by sbgmetal on 16.04.2015 at 23:31 He should never, ever give a fuck about what fans what to hear. He should make the music he wants. Like any other band in the world. Saying "it's bad, because it's not what I wanted to hear" is completely preposterous.

Damn, this is the musical equivalent of eating a plate of white rice with nothing on it. Not even the tiniest bit stimulating or interesting.

Written by Mattybu on 17.04.2015 at 01:33 I'll take a plate of white rice any day of the week instead of Slayer playing songs like this.

Written by Guest on 17.04.2015 at 01:43 How is this different to the slow stuff they have done before, except that it is way more uninspired and jaded sounding?

Written by Ilham on 17.04.2015 at 01:42 I miss the days when my Slayer was more exciting. Since I have a soft spot for them, I try and find redeeming qualities about stuff like this, but I can't. I'm past the point where I would ever want to listen to this more than once.

Written by Mattybu on 17.04.2015 at 01:46 Completely understandable. I even wonder if I'll listen to the album when it comes out.

Written by Ilham on 17.04.2015 at 01:50 I don't think I will. I'm also past the point of worrying about other peoples' grounds for what constitutes a "true fan" of something (I was never really too concerned about it, but when I was younger and in times past stuff like that would get to me) and I'm fine with being a serious Slayer lover and not bothering with their new crap.

Written by Daniell on 17.04.2015 at 01:08 But then he should also remember fans paying bills, buying (small part) of CD's going to concerts and so on, of corse he can do he is rich, but still bands should remember who pay the bills... but unfortunately most metalheads still will go and see band live because they see NAME

Written by mz on 17.04.2015 at 02:14 i prefer my rice noisy. like Snap, Crackle, and Pop. haven't heard the song yet, anyone expecting them to sound like 1989 is expecting too much at this point.

Honest;y, I don't know what I even expect when I click on a new Slayer song anymore. I guess It's going to be like the Matrix: such a shame they never made any follow ups after the new millennium, oh well, at least they ended on a high note.
